Life is good will announce the full Coffee House lineup later this summer.

“Each year for one very special weekend, we see music fans of all ages come together at the Life is good Festival for a positive purpose,” said Bert Jacobs, chief executive optimist for Life is good. “By raising more than a million dollars for the Life is good Kids Foundation, the Festival celebrates the impact we can have in the lives of kids who really need it,” said Jacobs.

The two-day celebration of music and optimism features three stages of nationally known musical talent, hands-on games and interactive arts activities. More importantly, the Festival will raise more than one

million dollars for The Life is good Kids Foundation, which directly funds the Life is good Playmakers. The Life is good Playmakers program provides training and support to childcare professionals who use these tools to ensure that children grow up feeling safe, loved and joyful.

The goal of the Festival is to create a community of fundraisers. Individuals who purchase tickets are directed to a personal fundraising page, where they can raise money to support The Life is good Kids Foundation. Festival-goers who raise $500 or more are called VGP’s – Very Good People – and will be rewarded with backstage hospitality, preferred concert viewing, artist meet and greets and other perks.

Tickets are on sale now at Lifeisgood.com/Festival. Adult tickets are $65 for one day or $120 for a two-day pass. Kids’ tickets are $20 for one day or $35 for a two-day pass. Free admission for kids under 2 years.
